Statement  performance

This performance project evaluates our active participation in environmental recovery. My personal development as an individual artist who transforms and matures, is now finding physical limitations to do what was previously very easy to do. The re-adaptation of my body makes me aware that the changes in my own being occur simultaneously with the changes in the planet. The big difference is that I accept the shackles of my life as the normal process of my existence, but this planet will be home to millions of future generations. Therefore, we should not accept the deterioration of the planet as normal, but do every possible act to reverse the damage we have caused.
